I will frankly confess that I was convinced that God had ordained me to do certain things for the service of my nation, things that perhaps could not be done by anyone else. In whatever I have done and whatever I do in the future, I consider myself as an agent of the will of God.

Nixon has the audacity to tell me to do nothing in the interest of my country until he dictactes where that interest lies.
